Previously, T.I. talked about first-week sales and when asked
what he think's Drake's debut "Thank Me Later"
album will do, TIP said over 500 thousand. "I'm confident in my
man," T.I. said about Drake's first-week. "I think if 500
[thousand] was the over, under, I would take the over. Given his
potential and his presence, I would. I think that's safe, that's a safe
bet. He hasn't put out a dud yet. He hasn't put out a dud, not even as a
feature, so I think that warrants about a half [a million]."
